Full Desc
“Capturing” refers to acquiring, recording, receiving, ingesting, or otherwise obtaining data—including, without limitation, digital photographs, images, radiographic or fluoroscopic images, video frames or sequences, animations, three-dimensional data, patient information, and the like—for storage, processing, display, export, or transmission.
Capturing may be performed by exposing a sensor (e.g., CCD, CMOS, flat-panel X-ray detector, ultrasound probe, depth or time-of-flight sensor, or the like), by scanning or digitizing physical media (e.g., film, prints), by screen capture (screenshot) or photographing a display, by importing/receiving files or streams from local storage, PACS/DICOM systems, or networks, by exporting or downloading files and/or streams from local storage, PACS/DICOM systems, or networks. Capturing may occur under weight-bearing or non-weight-bearing conditions for the object, patient, body part, imaged region, and may be synchronous or asynchronous, real-time or buffered, local or remote, automated, semi-automated, or user-initiated.
Capturing may include associated control or acquisition operations such as triggering, exposure control, gating, buffering, demosaicing, format conversion, compression/decompression, high-dynamic-range compositing, burst acquisition, or the like, and may store metadata (e.g., timestamps, orientation, calibration, geolocation, device settings) linked to the captured data. In one embodiment, a single frame extracted from a video or fluoroscopic stream, a screenshot of on-screen imagery, or a photograph of a displayed radiographic image constitutes capturing. In one embodiment, capturing multiple items (e.g., AP and LAT views) within a defined interval may constitute a single acquisition session.
